Message

At Northwest University, Kano, I serve as Dean of the Faculty of Science and Associate Professor. My work combines mathematical modeling and optimal control to study disease transmission and cancer treatment.

My research includes mathematical epidemiology, mathematical biology, and mathematical oncology. I have published work on breast cancer treatment, HIV, Ebola, COVID-19, and aflatoxin risk mitigation.

At Near East University, I worked as a Lecturer in the Department of Mathematics and as a Research Consultant at DESAM Research Center. My research there included modeling immune checkpoints and BCG in superficial bladder cancer, as well as mathematical approaches to HIV and aflatoxin dynamics.

I supervise undergraduate and postgraduate research, including ongoing PhD work on disease modeling, optimal control, and artificial neural network approximations. I also serve as Editor-in-Chief at YUMSUK Journal of Pure and Applied Science and review for academic journals.
